1. Have to have Millard Fillmore in there.

Buchanan, bad, too. And it's true, people can't rely on what they were taught to know.

3. Where's William McKinley on that list?
Edited on Wed May-03-06 07:39 AM by American Tragedy
The very beginning of "New Imperialism".

From a contemporary liberal perspective, and considering what an inspiration he and his strategist Mark Hanna were to the current denizens of the White House, I don't see how he can possibly be omitted.

5. Don't forget the nuance.
Lists like this fun, but they can oversimply complicated issues.

Take LBJ. He was president during a time of the most robust economic growth the nation has known.
During his presidency, the bulk of the civil rights legislation was passed.
He was able to maintain a Democratic majority in Congress, despite heavy attacks on his office.

And he didn't get us into any wars.
He escalated VietNam into a major conflict, but JFK had already committed troops to that quagmire.

Not that I liked him much. And there is that whole Texas thing.
But he got a lot of good things done.

6. You forgot Bush the Not Quite As Stupid
Bush 41 was pretty much of a disaster, as was his predecessor.
